My View
Once upon a time, Hillary Clinton had the Democratic Nomination in her back pocket. Everything was going so swell. Believing she could build off of her husband’s popularity. Clinton had high hopes. Then a man by the name of Barack Obama stepped on to the seen. Obama was different; he did not talk specifically about important issues. Instead Obama talked about formless ideals like “hope” and “change”. The world viewed Obama as manna from heaven. Is this man really going to change Washington? Will he unite all Americans under the banner of hope and change? Will he make America a better nation?
These where the questions we simple folk asked and pondered. Hillary, a battle-tested and scarred politician, that many viewed as too damn polarized. Hillary was unable to adapt against a person that only speaks feel good rhetoric. Hillary could only win people that supported Hillary Clinton. While Barack Obama on the other hand, seemed to have a King Midas touch, whoever Obama talked too, they converted believed in his feel good rhetorical ideals. Originally Hillary thought she would easily win this election. Now Hillary is in a fight a man that has the ability to make people faint at speeches.
Fast forward to May first. Hillary has suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of Obama, yet a brief ray of hope pierced the battlegrounds. Less then two weeks ago, Hillary won an important state. Pennsylvania. It was because of this win that she was able to breathe new life into her campaign, yet that wasn’t enough to convince the Gods of the Democratic Party. There is still news that many of the delegates are going to support Obama, no matter who wins Indiana or North Carolina
Today Hillary Clinton has lost another superdelegate to Obama’s camp. To make it ever more personal, this superdelegate was the leader DNC under Bill Clinton. Adding an insult to injury, superdelegate Joe Andrew, told all the delegates to decide on a candidate and end this bloodbath. The two main reasons why Andrew switched is because Obama handled the Reverend Wright issues very professionally and that Obama was against the gasoline tax break during the summer. These two acts showed Andrews that Obama had political guts to stand against the norm.
Obama seemed to have captured the imaginations of all the people whom he speaks to. Yes Obama had his sort comings. Like being in a church for 20 years with a racist pastor, yet all Obama had to do is say that he is “offended by him,” and just distance himself away That’s it, all problems are solved with Reverend Wright.
It is amazing how many people are willing to stand up for Obama. All Obama needs to do is to close his eyes and wish all the problems way, and poof! All his campaign problems disappear and the American people instantly forget everything he has said and done, and just continue to sing his praises. For Obama has the media and left-wing radicals kissing the ground he walks on, and are willing to do anything for him. For example, John Kerry said today, that we must not dwell on Reverend Wright, and that we should leave it in the past. I can only begin to wonder how Obama’s presidency will be when he makes a mistake. From what I am seeing now, no one will care. Obama could allow the USA to be taken over by another country and the Democrats will still sing him praises.
